At the Bread Outlet last week they had a whole row of chips.

Crawtators.... in Idaho?
ReplyDeleteI have seen those same bag of chips here! I just cannot remember if I tasted that particular flavor or not but I have had other bags of those chips and I like them. Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteThe crawtators are delicious!!!! Try them!!!
ReplyDeleteThe last sale ads were pitiful. But, Wednesday is a new week. I am told I was given crawfish when I was too young to remember. My daddy lived for that sort of food.
ReplyDeleteMy son would eat the crawtators he eats odd flavors
ReplyDeleteI am winging it this week from the freezer and pantry.
ReplyDeleteSunday I finished off the fresh veggies purchased 3 weeks ago. Roasted brussel sprouts, salmon and rice pilaf.
Monday- In excavation of the freezer, I discovered 2 vacuum sealed bags of green beans labeled 2017. Oopsy. I thought the new stuff was at the bottom. Assuming they would not be tasty simply steamed, I made BBQ Green Beans in the slow cooker. I had bacon grease in the fridge and bacon bits in the freezer! YUMMY!!! Alongside I made a meatloaf. This made 6 meals-so hubby has 3 lunches for work and I have 1.

Tonight I'm using some aging riced cauliflower, bag of peas/carrots, and a few slices of vacuum-sealed ham from T-day. Stir fried rice-it's what's for dinner!
I have no idea what will be tomorrow. I dig through the freezer each afternoon for "tomorrow". ;-)
I will go to the store for one thing today on my way home from 2 appts: Cuties are half price this week. Citrus is soooo good this time of year!
I learned something new today. Crawfish is what we call Crayfish. It's what turned me off seafood years ago. I don't eat liver, but have always loved the onion gravy my dad used to make with the liver drippings.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been making some random unplanned stuff lately. Tonight was red lentil pasta in a sauce comprised of Impossible bratwursts, white wine, squishy tomatoes, an onion, artichokes and whatever seasoning seemed appropriate. This was pretty good but sometimes the experiments are barely edible.
